Pigs eat better. Corn and soybeans on a farm, mostly plant roots and shoots in the wild. And to be fair, they can't use utensils and don't have immigrant labor and hired chefs to take the roots out of the gound and prepare them..

All that aspartame is just exacerbating his brain rot. It's probably causing all sorts of other issues, too. Can't imagine how bad his teeth are...

He should enter one of those Coney Island eating contests - how many hot dogs (or Big Macs) in an hour.

If he was a 16 year old athlete, which he isn't and never was, it might be ok. But he is an 80 year old man.

I'm mid-50's, very active. If I ate that in one day, I'd be sick. Let alone what it would do to me in a single setting.

I don't eat McDonald's, mostly because it makes me feel bad.

14. Calorie and sodium content

Total for the full meal
• Total calories: ~1,970 calories
• Total sodium: ~3,130 mg sodium



Context (for reference)
• The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 mg sodium/day, with an ideal limit of 1,500 mg for many adults.
• This single meal provides ~136% of the general daily maximum and over 200% of the ideal limit.

either. If so many American voters hadn’t chosen to be cruel, hateful, or lazy, someone wouldn’t have been re-elected in 2024 because he’d either be dead or incapacitated from a stroke or a coronary event. As a result we’ve got him as a scourge (For some reason, God has chosen not to inflict a plague of frogs, which I would have found preferable). As a result, TSF seems to pursue his current diet and most of his biological processes continue to chug along, unlike many of us on both sides of the political spectrum, who’d either be in serious medical trouble or lying under a white sheet and waiting for an embalmer.

He's been eating like this his entire adult life. There's no reason to think that he won't continue eating like this for at least another 10 years.
